What is Imagery Rescripting?
Overview
This handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions explains Imagery Rescripting as a CBT technique for addressing upsetting memories, nightmares, and future imaginings. It describes how clients can actively approach distressing mental images by rewinding and rewriting them to feel safer or more empowered. The resource outlines various methods for changing these narratives, including interventions by the self or a therapist.
